What has become of "Wired", the loudly touted "Next greatest audio
app"
in Linux? There were several hard and fast releases last November and
updates in December then...
And should someone from the development team be on the list...nice
looking interface...But Puhleeeeeze use Jack for audio interface or add
it to the list of already available options. I know it uses Port audio
but I have not been able to figure out what the heck Portaudio is let
alone how to get it working!

I've been testing Csound5 which supports PortAudio (among other audio
systems). IMO it's a great solution as a cross-platform audio system,
but it works best with a native backend (ALSA, ASIO). Audio latency in
Csound is negligible when I use PortAudio with its ALSA backend, not so
good when I use PortAudio's direct interface.
Csound5 has also recently integrated PortMIDI. Amazing work coming from
Istvan Varga on Csound5 these days. JACK support is here ! :)
Best,

So how is portaudio set up? Is it like ARTS in its operation? have you
been using Qjackctl to control jack and can you get port audio to "talk"
via that app to apps that support port audio. Does it act like jack
within Qjackctl in as much as having ports from the host app and client
apps show that can be tied together just like we do with jack?

It works as an abstraction layer between audio programs and sound sinks
(or in the case of jack, sound servers) so that you can create audio
programs the are more portable between various platforms.
I have portaudio compiled with jack support, but have been unable to get
wired to compile and run correctly. I can get it to build with a little
work, but I can't get it to run properly. (I suspect it's most likely to
do with the fact that I'm using wxGTK built against GTK 2.6 rather than 2.4)
